I can’t get enough of sequins lately. These pillows want to live with me, I know it.

Setting a Holiday Table
Thanksgiving kicks off a season of dinner parties and holiday meals, so I’ve put together a few options for setting a festive table. I kept it it monochromatic, adding metallic accents instead of color for interest. Here are the base pieces I used (some I own, some were borrowed).

Scalloped Bowl, Target

PB White Dinner Plate, Pottery Barn
Here are just a few of the possible combinations (and no, I don’t mind mixing silver and gold).
The Marimekko Lumimarja tablecloth was a gift from my mom last year, but it is available this year in gold. I also mixed in bird napkin rings and plain white napkins, along with our everyday flatware.

Matte Gold Sequin Skirt
I have a whole (imaginary) outfit planned around this one. Long white cardigan, pink blouse with some sort of detail (ruffles, bow, or tie) at the neck, plum tights, and red heels.

Style: November ’10
Clearly I’m looking forward to the holidays. Velvet! Sparkle! Gold! Ruffles! Although, I tend to dress this way on normal days sometimes too…
I love dresses like this one paired with black tights because they’re effortlessly stylish. There’s a maternity version here, but it might need cinching in the waist. Red nail polish would take this look over the top, so I’d wear pink to keep it sweet and a little more casual. Plus you’d look so cute when you pull out your ‘best-ever-oh-my-god-where-did-you-get-that’ pocket mirror! (That was a shameless plug for my own shop, I know.) Lilac earrings and a fuschia velvet clutch add a little more color, while the shoes and ring bring in the shine.

Dazzle Dinner Plate
This would mix well with any solid color plate, but it would work with a lot of patterns too. And I like that it has silver and gold, so it takes the fear out of pairing mismatched metallic pieces.
